Appearance/Odor
[APPEARANCE AND ODO] ]] Pale yellow liquid with mild odor ========= SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA FLASH POINT (Deg F): 104 METHOD USED: TOC FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY % VOLUME- LOWER: .9 UPPER: 10.5 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: FOAM, CO2, DRY CHEMICAL SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES Full emergency equipment with self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing should be worn by fire fighters. During fire, HDI vapors and other irritating , highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame. Closed container may explode when exposed to extreme heat or burst when contaminated with water. Solvent vapors may be heavier than air. Stagnant air may cause vapors to accumulate and travel along the ground to an ignition source which may result in a flash back to the source of the vapor. ============== SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA ====== STABILITY: STABLE CONDITIONS TO AVOID Page: 2 Excessive heat, sparks or open flames. INCOMPATIBILITY TO AVOID) Water, amines, strong bases, alcohols, metal compounds and surface active HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, traces of HCN and HDI HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: MAY OCCUR WILL NOT OCCUR May occur if in contact with moisture or other materials which react with isocyanates. May occur at temperatures over 400 Deg SECTION VI
